Calzone Recipe

A calzone is like a folded over stuffed pizza. The circle of pizza dough is folded in half over the filling and then sealed. During baking, the pizza dough swells somewhat until it resembles a "Stuffed stocking", the literal translation of word calzone. Sauted vegetables and cheese aromatized with herbs is the filling for this calzone. You can vary the vegetable combination if you like. For a change, try frying the calzone until golden brown in hot oil. You will find that it is easier to handle the calzone during frying when it has been formed into appetiser sized calzonetti (or smaller calzones). Calzone can stand alone as a substantial snack or combined with a green salad and soup, it makes an easy dinner.
